No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

My august 2011 display... Fiinally a real splash of colour to make the hubby happy. I've chosen a theme of coloured-and-structured-on-the-outside vases, and because I had a specific Czech pressed glass in July, I stayed away from those. In all cases, the structure of the pieces can be felt on the outside.

If you have a clue about the unknowns in the display, info is always welcome! Most of them (but not all) have featured in a thread already somewhere

First picture (left side), from left to right:1. Unknown. At one time I thought it was Gral-glas, but couldn't confirm it when the book came out. Aseda has been suggested as well.2. Sweden, Kumela, Kai Blomqvist3. Czechoslovakia, ZBS, Vaclav Horacek4. Germany, Gral-Glas (attr to Gral-glas atelier)5. Germany (I suspect), unknown. Colour and shape are very Germany-1950s (perhaps by or influenced by Wagenfeld)6. Germany, Peill & Putzler

Second picture (right side), from left to right:6. (the blue one) Germany, Gral-Glas, GÃ¼nther Hoffman7. Germany, Ingrid Glas, Kurt Wokan8. Germany, Hirschberg9. The Netherlands, Leerdam, Wim Heesen10. Germany, Ingrid Glas11. Germany, Hirschberg12. Unknown, but there are many similarities to nr. 11 to the feel, thickness and structure of the glass, so I'm inclined to put it down as a Hirschberg as well.
